Where the Accident Began “This is where I was building my shed and you can nearly see over in the left hand corner of this picture the little concrete paver blocks where I fell after getting home from Vanderbilt and broke another rib upon arrival at my old house.”

This is How the Truck Appeared “After crawling across the ground and after several attempts, I was able to climb into my truck. You can actually see the markings my hand made and the shed in the background from which I fell.”

Bleeding Spleen “My bleeding spleen on the lower right side of this picture was flatter than a pancake. My stomach on the left side of the picture nearly exploded from all the blood being pumped into it and my lower body cavity.”
